The First Lady Celebrates the 2015 Graduates of Oberlin College 

Yesterday, First Lady Michelle Obama addressed the class of 2015 at Oberlin College in Ohio.

Last week, we invited these petition signers to join a White House call about improving community-police relations.

 Quote of the Day

"The Americans who rest beneath these beautiful hills, and in sacred ground across our country and around the world -- they are why our nation endures. Each simple stone marker, arranged in perfect military precision, signifies the cost of our blessings. It is a debt we can never fully repay."

Tell Us: What's Your Stake in Clean Water? 

One in three Americans get their drinking water from areas that don't have clear pollution protection.

But this week, after hundreds of meetings and reviewing more than 1 million comments from Americans, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers are taking steps to fix the problem. Together, they're releasing a Clean Water Rule that strengthens and expands protections for bodies of water that more than a third of Americans rely on for their drinking water.
